Enabling DSLR Taking Photo
If your camera fails or crashes when Sparkbooth DSLR takes a photo, the cause is usually the camera's exposure settings or how the camera handles live view. Try the following steps:

2. Toggle "Pause liveview during photo"
Some cameras cannot take photos while live view is on. Open the camera settings dialog (Ctrl-3), expand Advanced Settings under the Video Source, and try toggling the Pause liveview during photo setting.
3. Adjust the Delay Settings
